Lionel Richie wrote this for him, and Kenny credits him right at the beginning of this performance. You should definitely listen to Kenny's song Coward of the County. It inspired a movie and tv series etc. And also, try listening to The Gambler, if you want to hear more of Kenny. He was amazing, may he RIP.

I am glad you guys like this singer because was well respected. And he treated everyone in his path with kindness. A true gentleman.

I'm a 74 yr old Canadian lady who just loves listening to you young gentleman reacting to different genres of music. Keep up the great work. Respect to you.

Kenny can sing so many stories. "Ruby (Don't Take Your Love to Town)" "Lucille" "The Gambler" "Coward of the County"

Old white lady here- I have misty eyes right now. Watching these five beautiful young men challenging themselves to opening their minds to music which crosses generations, genres and cultures just makes me so damn happy. You’ve gained a fan today💕🥰😘 Oh, also- try listening to Kenny singing “Ruby” when he was a member of the pop group The First Edition. It’s a song which gives the perspective of a wounded Vietnam War Veteran. I think you’ll love it!

Never imagined Kenny Rogers would get all your attention that you didn’t even pause it lol 😂 Much respect ✊ to a great artist of our time. I grew up with my mom playing his albums while we cleaned up the house. Great reaction guys 😎👍🏾

My daughter got to sing with Kenny. About 10 years ago. I told her she sang with a legend.

I love it !!!!!! it took Kenny to actually get you all to sit there in silence actually enjoying the song,,, well done guys!!!!!

Remember, this is all skill, no auto tune. Just great vocals.

Gosh this is making me cry. I forgot how beautiful this song was.

I’m not sure who is who out of you guys, other than Brandon, so I don’t mean to sound disrespectful. I loved the applause from the guy wearing grey. You all deserve a pat on the back for exploring all genres of music. This is definitely one of my favourite KZfaq channels, but please introduce yourselves so we know who is who. You guys are being enjoyed worldwide, I’m in Australia and think you’re all great 🙌🏻

Thats what a legend is. RIP Kenny!

Really enjoy your reactions to the older sounds of my generation. I believe the 60s to 90s were some of the best sounds ever. I hope you continue to explore the vast library of musical artistry that I grew up on and love so much. It’s amazing to watch handsome young intelligent men appreciate talent as much as you do. Thank you most kindly. ❤

As a 74 year old white man it makes my heart glow to see you appreciate good music

You can tell it's a Lionel Ritche lyric. Kenny sings it so well.

My mother dedicated a Kenny Rogers song "through the Years" to my father before she died at 36 years old. My father used to play Kenny Rogers a lot because it reminded him of her. He finally joined her and passed away 32 years later and two days after the anniversary of her passing away. So Kenny Rogers always reminds me of my parents.

One of Lionel best friends for many…many years. Lionel wrote that and said, I would like Kenny to sing this.

I danced to this song with my wife 33 years ago at our wedding. Still gives me chills when I hear it. Thank you Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie for this masterpiece.❤

I grew up with an 8-track player and my parents had several 8-tracks. The one I played the most was Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits. Such a unique artist.

Kenny Rogers, RIP, passed when Covid started, but had a great life. The voice of a master story-teller. Best buds with Lionel Richie who wrote this song and also recorded it himself nearly 20 years later. And as others have said, The Gambler is really his definitive song.

Kenny Rogers - The Gambler was hands down the best song!

These guys were speechless. I’ve never seen them so quiet. ❤️

Kenny Rogers is a Star in Jamaica, we love him here, his songs are a part of our classics.

“Soul has no color “ is the best thing I’ve heard all week

Liminal Richie wrote this specifically for Kenny Rodgers to sing! It’s a beautiful love song!!❤️

You guys have to do lady again with Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie. Their friendship is amazing and you see it in the performance.

It takes talent to walk out on stage by yourself and captivate an audience.

Fellas, first ☝️ of all Rip 🪦 Kenny Rogers. One ☝️ of the great 👍 singers 🎵 from the 70's & 80's. The song 🎶 lLady was first ☝️ written for The Commodores which Lionel Ritchie was part of that group n they did not want to do that song 🎶 , so Lionel pitched it to Kenny n it became a big hit especially for the women who luved ❤️ his voice. Glad that U guys enjoyed it.

Kenny Rodgers this song still gives me the chills....

For these 5 guys in particular, they’ll enjoy the lyrics to ‘the Gambler’ and/or ‘Coward of the County’ greatly written and sung songs

Song written by Lionel Richie formerly of the Commodores and was sung by him. Kenny Rogers had a great voice and made this covered song a big hit!

One of the great storytellers through his music. Such a gentleman.

You should watch when Kenny brings Lionel Richie on stage and tell the story about how the song was made and they sing it together. It's beautiful to watch their friendship on stage.

I'm one year shy of 70 years and this song still bring chills and moves me to tears when I hear it. My husband and I fell in love to this song and its genre. We've been married 37 years. I love watching your reaction to so many different styles of music.

Watching them all fully listening to that song you could see they are really understanding the meaning ...love this

Love Kenny….reminds me of my younger days mom and dad jamming it always. Islands in a stream Kenny and Dolly Parton is a good one too

kenny was a superstar singer actor and chicken man lol. this was written for him by lionel richie and they did sing it together too

There's a video of an amazing live duet of Kenny and Lionel performing this together

Kenny Rogers was another old school who was as good live as on record, (if not better). Pure professional.

I like the respect shown. Keep it up fellas

This was played as my bride, walked down the aisle to the alter, where we said our vows.

Lionel Ritchie and Kenny had a great friendship and Lionel was crushed when Kenny died a few years ago. Kenny was a huge heart throb back in the day and I could listen to him sing all day long without getting tired of him. He was a very humble & kind man.

Thank you for not stopping the song every few seconds to talk. I appreciate watching all of you appreciate Kenny Rogers' voice.

Kenny was helping Lionel during a rough patch. They wrote this song together in my sisters house. My nieces went to school with his youngest daughter Sophia! Lionel was so upset when Kenny died recently! Lionel is getting a special American icon award is the AMA’s this year. So excited for him!

No matter your musical style, genre and alike. Play this at the end of your 3rd date and you'll be walking down the aisle in no time..........class, pure class.

Kenny Rogers fit pretty well in the country genre, but if you go back far enough, you'll find his rock roots. Check out Kenny Rogers & The First Edition for the song "Just Dropped In." It's a classic.

I love Kenny RIP❤️

A Female singer along this vibe, and still going strong that you definitely need to listen to is Dolly Parton. She can do anything, the song Jolene is beautiful, and heavy lyrics. She has done several duets with Kenny Rogers too, their voices went so good together.

Lionel and Kenny were great friends! I love Lady! Lionel Ritchie is one of the greatest songwriters of all time❤️…and Kenny one of the greatest voices! Rest In Peace Kenny Rogers✝️

The man, the myth, the legend. He sang so many iconic songs that touched the heart and soul. Rip Mr. Rogers.

Rest In Peace Kenny Rogers He Is Amazing Legend Singer Ever My Momma Huge Fan Of Him. 👏🏽👏🏽

I saw Kenny Rogers in Atlantic City, on the Boardwalk, when his band was “Kenny Rogers and the First Edition”. Nobody seemed to know who they were, (I DID!) and I was blessed to be standing right in front and was thrilled! This was around 1968 or 69. Loved him since I first heard his voice!

Thank you. Brought tears. Memories and watching the future appreciate our history. ❤️

I cannot say how much I appreciate you reintroducing so many of us to old songs . I love your enthusiasm and joy ….. thank you🎉

Kenny was originally part of the First Edition rock band before going solo. They had some great songs in the 60’s and 70’s like Somethings Burning, Just Dropped In, and Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town. They even had their own tv show I remember watching every week when I was a teen. They were funny and played great music.❤️

Kenny Rogers is dope! Straight pimp music!

There is a performance where Lionel and Kenny sing it together. Phenomenal

Great reaction!! You guys didn’t even pause once!!! RIP, Kenny

Great in concert !!!! One of the best shows I've seen, saw him in Reno

What the!!!! I was just thinking of this song today. ❤️❤️❤️ Love that you guys can appreciate all types of music. I saw Kenny once in concert.

Islands in the Stream with Dolly Parton is a must watch!!

Best VOCALS of Kenny right here.

Now look up Kenny Rogers and the First Edition singing “Just Dropped In”. Amazing how much he changed when he crossed into Country Music.

RIP Kenny Rogers 💙 nice reaction guys!

THE GAMBLER is definitely Kenny's most iconic song and ISLANDS IN THE STREAM with Dolly Parton was also a huge hit. ty for this reaction gentlemen

I loved this reaction! Thanks for keeping great music alive!

Islands in the Stream with Dolly Parton is an absolute classic!

Nice to see you guys opening your minds to this type of music!!!

BEAUTIFUL reactions 💜

Soul has no color. I never heard that...love it!

Thats real true country singing!!! Kenny Rogers was an iconic country legend!!

Lionel Ritchie wrote that song for Kenny. Lionel recorded this song too and of course did a great performance as well.

Didn't expect to see you guys react to Kenny Rogers, and if I did I wouldn't have guessed it would be "Lady." Great singer, corny at times but good at what he did and could moisten every pair of panties in the house when he was really on. This was a weird time in music when country, r&b, and soft rock all merged into a blob of inoffensive romantic mush. A lot of it was cheesy but some beautiful songs came out of it.

72 y.o. lady from the Motor City itself. I love watchin' you kids playin' and reactin' to these old songs. Thanks for bringin' such joy to so many folk.

i just subscribed o y'all and for an OLD Lady like me to see young guys like y'all listen and loved singers like Kenny and blake makes this old lady very happy ty for making my night happy new year for 2023 ! Peace and Blessed Be !!!!

KENNY ROGERS WAS SO FINE❤️

Boys you have been missing out :) :) Much love but I'm gonna go show my 21 year old son this reaction because I loved when all 5 of ya were sitting back taking it in and loving it! Check out Kenny and Dolly Parton if ya get a chance. Much love from Indiana

Thanks so much for reacting to this. This is the type of music I grew up on. Thanks for appreciating this !

"SOUL has NO color" Love that~!

Lionel is such a magnificent writer and human being. Kenny is a grand singer from the days of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. G-d bless them both. Thanks for listening, guys.

Please, PLEASE react to Bobbie Gentry (woman) and her song Ode' To Billy Joe. You will be in awe of her voice!! Old video, she's sitting on stage with her guitar and singing. Another request: Tracy Chapman's songs Fast Car and Give Me One Reason. Good stuff!

Just want to say thanks for you guys. Your reactions are very enjoyable, and funny. SO MUCH music for you guys to enjoy and discover. I suggest you guys do one of Kenny's called "Just Dropped In " he was I. A group before going solo. It was used in the movie The Big Lowboski. Also Grand Funk Railroad, "inside looking out" 1969 live version has got to be one of the best performance.

Man, there will never be another Kenny... that voice. Silver fox for sure.

Yes... Kenny Rogers was awesome!!! One of the GREATS!

Kenny Rogers - the Gambler is his best song in my opinion!!

I have a woman Artist for you, Christina Aguilera I have to be honest, I really loved the way you all just listened quietly. Which is not a usual reaction but it was cool because you were just enjoying the song. Kenny Rogers had that nice raspy voice. I'm sad to say that I never got into his music much. Smh Great reaction guys 😎

I'm so glad I got to see this guy in concert! # His voice is great..glad you guys liked it!

Loved watching your faces! Thank you for the respect of a country legend!

You should react to him and Lionel doing this together great!

Went to school with a girl who’s dad looked like Kenny… he had so many grannies, mommas, & daughters chasing him 😂

I feel like I am in a room watching videos with my buddies when I watch your videos!! You guys are a blast!!! Thanks!!!!!

Lady was written by music genius Lionel Richie and sung by Kenny Rogers, a country music singer with some serious R&B and soul.

I forgot what a good singer Kenny was.

Lionel Richie wrote that song for him in only a few hours

His voice was so masculine and just gorgeous! He’s greatly missed.

you guys are so incredible for your efforts in looking and finding all these old songs.... I respect the fact that you all can sit together and being so much younger than I .....(which is nothing wrong with that:)) but listening to songs and music that is not played very much anymore:)... my children are about your ages... and i unfortunately cannot get them to listen to older songs that I grew up hearing... you are all an example of willingness and accepting music that is different to what my children grew up with and what you grew up with. Maturity and patience I see in all you young men and most of all...FUN! I truly enjoy listening and watching you young men studying and exploring the past .... I was not so willing when I was your ages, to listen to my parents music.... BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I WAS IN HALF DAY KINDERGARDEN AND MY MOM AND I WERE IN THE KITCHEN MAKING DINNER FOR DAD BEFORE HE GOT HOME.. AND SHE WAS CRANKIN SAM AND DAVE- I THANK YOU! i REMEMBER HER DANCING IN THE KITCHEN AND SEEING HOW HAPPY SHE WAS JUST LISTENING TO HER MUSIC!

Love it. Please do 'White Buffalo The Whistler Live at Guitar Center" - a truly powerful performance. However a female song to go with this is Jolene by Dolly Parton.

This is what you play for your girl when you want some, cuz this will get any woman in the mood.

You can still listen to this music in 20/23

Kenny is one of the greatest performers of all time!😍
